Lyrics

On Your Own

Verse 1
Sometimes you?re better on your own.
The loves you tried but couldn?t win;
You just give in. The fault was half your own.
Perhaps it?s best to be alone.

Verse 2
Why did they turn their hearts away?
Your memories ask the question still.
They always will. You sadly wonder who
Will ever find the love in you.

Bridge 1
You wonder why a dozen tries have come and gone.
All different reasons, but the same familiar song.
Perhaps it?s best to be alone.

Refrain
Oh, no! You just can?t walk away,
Close your eyes and disappear.
Let go of yesterday.
Don?t let those memories interfere.
You know just when you walk away,
That?s when a pretty smile appears.
You won?t remember yesterday.
Your hopes are stronger than your fears.

Verse 3
It may seem best to be alone.
And, yet, you watch for friendly eyes
As crowds go by. Lovely ladies everywhere,
And you, pretending not to stare.

Bridge 2
Why are they always in a hurry
When you have the time to stay?
And then so easily distracted
When you have something to say?
You know they?ll turn to love another,
Never thinking you might cry.
Leaving you to wonder, ?Where is mine??
Perhaps it?s best to be alone!

Refrain
Oh, no! You just can?t walk away,
Close your eyes and disappear.
Let go of yesterday.
Don?t let those memories interfere.
You know just when you walk away,
That?s when a pretty smile appears.
You won?t remember yesterday.
Your hopes are stronger than your fears.
